K-State's Jardine Apartment's are hiding one of the best-kept secrets on the K-State campus - CornerStone Coffee and Bakery. According to their
Facebook page, CornerStone is "A coffee shop and bakery in Jardine Apartment Complex serving Equal Exchange fairly traded coffee and espresso and made-from-scratch baked goods!" I even called them up to make sure that this advertisement was not outdated or simply too good to be true, and got the same answer: all coffee served at this location is Equal Exchange fair trade! If you haven't read my previous post, Equal Exchange is a co-op that provides fair trade coffee produced only by small farmers and co-operatives. K-State students might often think buying fair trade in Manhattan is just not an option, but this is just not true.
CornerStone is located in Building 5 at Jardine (the address is 2002 Tunstall Circle). Google maps unfortunately took their street view of this area before construction was completed, but this map should give you an idea of where it is located. There are metered spots for parking as well as parking available on Jarvis Drive for those without a parking permit (after 9 a.m.). CornerStone also has incredible hours, open 7 a.m. - 11 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. - 11 p.m. on weekends.
CornerStone has received our highest rating: an A+. Not only do they carry only Equal Exchange coffee (I know I mentioned that at least three times already, but I just cannot get over how cool that is), but they also have the latest hours of any of the other coffee shops on campus. Why more people don't know about this place, I don't know, but I'm excited to spread the word, and you should be too.
Drink on, coffee lovers, drink on.
